@leimon @devrtz @trregeagle @purism Also Super-left/right and Shift-Super-left/right to tile windows and move between screens respectively, and Super-up to maximize (especially useful for windows you move back to the phone screen).
@chrichri @trregeagle @purism I also don't use it in tablet mode much. The main use case for me would be reading digital books and magazines, but I prefer the paper versions.
At the #minidebconf in Hamburg last month I deliberately didn't bring my laptop and did all my packaging and light coding on the #librem5 using a #nexdock360.
While it did indeed get a bit hot during compilation, I enjoyed using #phosh in docked mode very much 🚀
@Wildbill I booked a room to get there on Friday and leave Sunday.
Everything about #weaving this rug has been intimidating so far because of the giant scope of the project. For instance it took me almost four hours to wind the warp onto the warp beam. Threading the loom is next and it is equally daunting.
@th @yaelwrites As a famous Foreigner once said: "Don't stop blijven."
@bojkotiMalbona @batalanto @thornedu For what it's worth we'd like to offer TMobile as a network option when we can, it's just not possible at the moment.
@batalanto @thornedu All three US carriers collect and sell customer data, abuse privacy, and have plenty of other problematic practices, but they are the only choices for cellular networks in the US.
The goal with AweSIM and SIMple is to protect personally-identifying customer data from whatever upstream network the service happens to go over.
This model on Thingiverse for a Mason jar gumball machine was pretty simple to print and assemble and it works great. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5396111 #3dprinting
Securus buys location data from one data broker (3Cinteractive) who bought it from another broker (LocationSmart) who bought it from AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. This abuse of customer data is why we made AweSIM. #privacy
Deputy US Marshal abused Securus phone tracking system to track personal contacts. Requested "all her [victim's] social media data, call history, text messages, and cell phone location data 24/7-365 without any restrictions". #privacy https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7bqew/us-marshal-securus-phone-location-tracked

This may not look like a rug, but it's the first step. The width and the density of the warp meant I had to measure out 1760 individual threads. The result after 5 1/2 hours was 10 warp chains ready to wind onto my loom. #weaving

I guess my habit of turning off WiFi/BT on my #Librem5 with the hardware kill switch when I leave the house isn't just good for battery life: https://gizmodo.com/bluetooth-tracking-iphone-airtags-1849042375 #privacy #security
My amazing wife gave me my anniversary present early! Check out the lines on this beautiful antique Willcox & Gibbs hand-cranked #sewing machine! It is in immaculate condition and sews well (and quietly). It is much smaller in person than you'd expect from pictures.
@sneak @purism We had a 4k screen in our past 15.6" laptop but design team deemed it unnecessary for this smaller screen. Our goal isn't to compete purely on specs and race to the bottom on price, but instead provide unique features hard to find in other laptops: hardware kill switches, ethernet, removable components that run with free software drivers, Qubes support, anti-interdiction services, and coreboot or PureBoot (Heads) boot firmware and FOSS EC firmware.
